Iowans Oppose Rate-Payer Pre-Funded Nuclear Reactor for MidAmerican Energy:
600 state of Iowa registered voters interviewed by SurveyUSA 04/19/11 through 04/21/11 are opposed to a proposal before the Iowa Legislature that would raise electricity rates for customers of MidAmerican Energy, which money may go to build a nuclear reactor. Voters prefer renewable energy sources when asked to choose between nuclear and renewable energy resources such as wind.

Are you in favor of or opposed to paying higher electricity rates to pay for the construction of a new nuclear reactor?

Legislation would pave the way for MidAmerican Energy to raise the public's electricity rates to build a new nuclear reactor. MidAmerican could keep the money even if a new nuclear reactor is ultimately not built. Do you think this is fair? Or un-fair?
